Make sure you take the bolts right of the groove not on the left closer to the arete. Got pumped and scared on crux, couldn't commit or downclimb, nervous about ledges below, so squealed and jumped off. Only harmed ego but don't think 10 mins of overgrippng did dodgy elbow any favours. Most miserable achievement-free day out climbing in memory.

Dogged my way up this and could not do the top moves. Turns out we had strayed onto the adjacent route a full grade harder. (Chronicles of Vladimir - thanks RockFax!) We thought it was a bit stiff at 6b+.
